I have provided you with documentation of the "rainforest Chernobyl " in Ecuador--the huge Chevron-Texaco toxic spill that reaches from Ecuador to Peru, with toxic black mud still oozing out of the ground, dead fisheries, toxic rivers and streams, high cancer rates among the 30,000 Indigenous people who live in the region and who depend on its waters and fisheries, and destruction of a wide swath of the Amazon rainforest. There is a nearly $30 billion lawsuit in the courts in Ecuador, which Chevron-Texaco is likely going to lose.

For instance, here is one description that I've provided for you...

If you think that the only Chernobyl is in Russia, think again. The Amazon region of Ecuador is being called the Rainforest Chernobyl, as 30,000 indigenous in Ecuador struggle to gain $27 billion in recompense for extensive damages to their health and environment.

The accused culprit in this environmental case is Chevron, the current owner of Texaco. From 1964 to 1990 Texaco allegedly dumped billions of gallons of toxic waste in the Amazon region of Ecuador.

The contaminated area is three times the size of Manhattan and involves over 1000 open toxic waste pits that the company abandoned after drilling 350 oil wells.

So, are you still promoting Chevron-Texaco's P.R. that "there is no 'rainforest Chernobyl ' in Ecuador"?

And having made that absurd assertion, and not having taken it back, how can we take you seriously on any other issue?
